  • Method of formulating paint through color space modeling
    Patent number: 5907495
    Abstract: Color space models are developed using designed experiments of pigment and binder ratios of a plurality known paint formulations for correlating color coordinates in a three-dimensional color space and paint constituents. Capabilities of the paints are determined by limits placed upon the constituents. Each color space model is used to return respective constituent apportionments for achieving predetermined color coordinates. Constituent apportionments within the respective limits correspond to paint formulations within the color space capability of the corresponding known paint formulation. When all such respective constituent apportionments are within the respective limits for each known paint formulation, the predetermined color coordinates are achievable and within a common color space capability of the known paint formulations.
